Solar self-consumption is becoming an essential building block of the energy transition, particularly for C&I, which remains largely underequipped.
We chose to back Enrise for its digital, turnkey approach that finally makes solarization a concrete lever for real estate value creation, energy cost reduction, and regulatory compliance. And above all, with zero effort, zero CAPEX, and at scale.
Solar self-consumption: a strategic shift for real estate
A threefold pressure on commercial real estate
Commercial real estate players are facing three converging pressures:
Strong regulatory constraints (tertiary decree, APER law); declining asset liquidity in a rising interest rate environment; growing tenant demand for more energy-efficient and competitive premises.
In this landscape, solar self-consumption is no longer just about ecological transition: it's a real estate value creation strategy.
An untapped resource
France has over 680,000 commercial and industrial rooftops, yet fewer than 5% are currently equipped with solar solutions. Why? Because the process is still perceived as slow, complex, and expensive.
This is precisely where Enrise comes in: with an integrated solution designed for multi-site property owners that accelerates, automates, and streamlines the entire solarization cycle.
Enrise: Solar at Scale, Friction-Free
A turnkey, fully digital solution
Enrise is built on a proprietary technology platform and a nationwide network of installers. Its offering covers:
Feasibility studies, Administrative procedures, Financing, Installation, Maintenance, Performance monitoring.
Result: power plants installed in under 8 months, up to 30% savings on tenants' electricity bills – with zero investment required from property owners.
An execution designed for scale
Where legacy players move forward site by site, Enrise takes a multi-asset approach. Thanks to its digital methodology, it enables real estate companies to decarbonize their entire portfolio quickly, in a standardized and profitable way.
"We were impressed by Enrise's ability to execute quickly and effectively. Their model is built on vertical integration and scalability: a true game-changer for a sector that has historically been slow to transform."
— Charles-Henry Choel, Partner at Asterion Ventures
A team driven by a clear vision
Founded by Paul Astrup and Armand d'Ambrières, joined by Pascal Marguet (founder of APEX Energies), Enrise benefits from both:
From an excellent understanding of the real estate sector and its operational constraints; from technological mastery of the solarization cycle; from a solid execution network on the ground.
Their vision: turn every rooftop into a productive asset, and transform regulatory constraints into drivers of sustainable profitability.
A rapidly accelerating market
The momentum is clear: France aims to double its solar capacity within 5 years. The regulatory framework is increasingly favoring self-consumption, photovoltaic materials are becoming cheaper, and social acceptance of solar has never been higher.
Enrise is perfectly positioned to capture this opportunity, with a turnkey solution and a team that checks all the boxes: ambition, execution, impact.
At Asterion, we believe the energy transition requires concrete solutions that can be deployed now. Enrise delivers a triple response to the real estate sector: energy, economic, and regulatory—with a rare execution capability in this industry.
That's why we're very proud to back Enrise at this pivotal stage of its growth. Together, we want to turn sunlight into an asset class and accelerate building decarbonization.
